Enter Stock Symbol3 Dividend-Paying Tech Stocks to Buy Right NowMany technology stocks have a reputation for resisting dividend payments. In fact, some new tech companies in this high-growth sector do not earn profits at all. Case in point, investors will likely find both high yields and dividend growth if they invest in AT&T (NYSE: T), International Business Machines (NYSE: IBM), and Qualcomm (NASDAQ: QCOM).Sat, 06 Jun 2020 19:31:00 +0000 —Read more…'Am I going to get shot?' kids ask, as brands try to explain racism and violence to childrenFor 8 minutes and 46 seconds - the length of time it took George Floyd, an unarmed black man, to die at the hands of Minneapolis police - cable TV kids channel Nickelodeon's screen went black on Tuesday to sounds of inhaling and exhaling, as white text flashed "I can't breathe."

This was especially the case for telecommunications equipment providers like Nokia (NYSE:NOK) and regional rival Ericsson (NASDAQ:ERIC). After trudging through some uncertain waters in 2019 due to the U.S.-China trade war, along with concerns about a global recession, 2020 offered hope. For instance, Nokia stock found itself up double-digit percentage points in early February.Source: RistoH / Shutterstock.com However, the Covid-19 pandemic immediately crushed that optimism. Although NOK has been through multiple health-related crises before - most notably SARS and the 2009 H1N1 outbreak - the coronavirus took such calamities to another dimension.To stem the tide against this rapidly proliferating virus, multiple countries, including the U.S., instituted broad lockdowns.InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading TipsThis was particularly harmful for Nokia stock as it meant that the underlying company would see progress in its 5G business come to a halt. After years of blunders and bad decisions, NOK was not in a position to treat setbacks as mundane affairs. * 7 Hotel Stocks to Buy Before Vacationing RestartsBut after diving to ridiculous lows around mid-March, Nokia stock has put on a remarkable recovery. Basically, shares are right back to where they were in the first half of February. Not only that, there's a case that NOK could continue moving higher.In mid-May, President Donald Trump issued a new rule that will prevent Huawei and its suppliers "from using American technology and software," according to the New York Times. Clearly, this move was aimed directly at China, for which Trump has consistently expressed disdain, first for China's intellectual property theft of U.S. assets and recently, for failing to contain the coronavirus.Economically, this backdrop sends a chill, unless you're holding Nokia stock. A Cynical Opportunity for Nokia StockBefore the pandemic, one of the biggest concerns that the U.S. had was China's growing global influence, particularly in the technology realm. Further, Trump was undoubtedly irked that China used American semiconductor components to essentially undermine U.S. tech dominance.As a new strategy to outsmart the Chinese, the Trump administration called on American tech firms to develop a uniform standard for 5G. By allowing 5G software developers to run code on any hardware, this uniformity helps eliminate the need for Huawei equipment, which is a leader in the 5G hardware space.Not only that, the measure found support from companies such as Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), Dell Technologies (NYSE:DELL) and AT&T (NYSE:T). According to White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow:"The big-picture concept is to have all of the U.S. 5G architecture and infrastructure done by American firms, principally. That also could include Nokia and Ericsson because they have big U.S. presences."Usually, when your top competitor suffers a setback, that's a net positive for you. And when these politically motivated developments were occurring earlier this year, Nokia stock took off. However, assuming that the coronavirus pandemic never happened, this narrative for NOK would have faced stiff challenges.Primarily, as the Wall Street Journal noted, Huawei "has won fans globally -- including small rural telecom carriers in the U.S. -- for the quality of its equipment and technical support." Significantly, this sentiment extended to the U.K., which allowed Huawei to build part of its 5G infrastructure, to American objections.Of course, the coronavirus did happen, which completely changes the story for Nokia stock. Frankly, the world hates China. For example, Australia is rethinking its economic dependency on China after the Asian country balked against Australia's request for an independent inquiry into the novel coronavirus' origins. More Pain, More Gain for NOKBased on what I see politically, I don't think the Trump administration will let up on China. As you know, our country is wrestling with nationwide protests calling for social equality and justice. Amid this backdrop is an economic catastrophe where a sadly ridiculous number of Americans have filed for unemployment benefits.Judging from his words and actions, I'm 100% sure that Trump blames China for ruining his chances for reelection. Realistically, the only hope for the president is to target a foreign "other." From America's perspective, you couldn't get more foreign than China.To put it another way, we're on a determined path to hold China accountable. That's bad news for Huawei and excellent news for Nokia.Still, you don't want to dive into Nokia stock blindly. Let's not forget that China can just as easily retaliate against American businesses - and I'm not just talking about tech firms. Besides, NOK is technically overheated.But on a significant dip, I believe risk-tolerant investors should take a look at the telecom equipment provider. On a fundamental basis, the narrative has changed dramatically and favorably.A former senior business analyst for Sony Electronics, Josh Enomoto has helped broker major contracts with Fortune Global 500 companies. Over the past several years, he has delivered unique, critical insights for the investment markets, as well as various other industries including legal, construction management, and healthcare.

Newly installed WarnerMedia CEO Jason Kilar has tapped Richard Tom -- who was Kilar's chief technology officer at Hulu and startup Vessel -- to be CTO at the AT&T-owned media company.With the move, Jeremy Legg, WarnerMedia's previous CTO, has joined AT&T Communications as EVP and CTO reporting to Jeff McElfresh, CEO of AT&T Communications.Tom, who reports directly to Kilar, will oversee WarnerMedia’s technology and operations organization including technology strategy, platform development and operations as well as shared services across the company. His purview includes HBO Max, the company's streaming-media service that debuted last week. In addition, the technology teams at Xandr, AT&T's advertising unit, now report to Tom.“Richard is a rare bird in that he brings deep technical chops, a dogged customer focus, clear and bold vision, and a magnetism that attracts other world-class builders to him,” Kilar said in announcing Tom's hire. “WarnerMedia’s future will be as much about technology as it will be about storytelling and having Rich report to me as our technical leader strongly signals that.”Prior to joining WarnerMedia, Tom served as an adviser and consultant for tech-focused consumer and business-to-business companies, as well as venture-backed startups.At Hulu, he built and led the technical infrastructure in the streaming service's early days, before leaving in 2013 with Kilar to co-found Vessel, a hybrid ad-supported/subscription short-form video service whose model was to provide early access to videos from top influencers and content companies. Vessel failed to get traction and the company was acquired by Verizon in 2016, after which Tom served as the telco's CTO of digital entertainment for about two years."Having been a part of the early innings of online video, it's incredibly exciting to have the opportunity to redefine the future again with Jason and the WarnerMedia team," Tom said in a statement, adding, "It's really fun to think about how technology will continue to help innovate the way WarnerMedia informs and inspires through amazing storytelling."Legg, prior to his appointment as CTO of WarnerMedia in December 2018, worked at Turner Broadcasting for over 14 years, most recently as chief technology officer.Regarding Legg's move to AT&T, Kilar said, “Jeremy, through his leadership of the technology organization, has had such a positive and material impact on WarnerMedia, with last week’s launch of HBO Max being just the most recent example."Mon, 01 Jun 2020 16:23:53 +0000 —Read more…
